AN IMPORTANr CHANGE.
The American House has Been Purchased
by L. j. Midday s. Co.

The American House has Been PURCHASED
by L. j. Midday s. Co.
Mr.. Fred Hipp, probably the Oldest
hotel man In Eastern Ohio, has sold the
American to L. j. Midday & CO., the we'll
kaOwn liquor dealers. Mr.. Hipp has
served the public for the past thirty
three years and has concluded that he
is entitled to a rest He says that he
will probably never re enter business
again; that he will rest and enjoy the
balance of his days. He commenced
business In an humble way, ana by
economy, frugality and careful manage
ment, has laid up sufficient to enjoy the
fruits of such life.
The new DrOprietOrs, Messrs. Louis j.
Midday and Louis j. WeTnet, are enter
pFisiDg business men, who will doubt
less sustain the we'll earned reputation
Of the house. 1t Is their intention to
enlarge the building aud thoroughly
remodel it. The present dining room
will be made into store rooms and a
new one will be located on the
floor above. The Office floor will
be lowered TO q level with the
sidewalk, which will add several feet to
the height of the room. They say they
will make it the fine t hotei property in
the city. While the travelling public
and the people of Canton will regret the
retirement of Mr.. Hipp, they are to be
congratulated on securing able success

Wonderful Cures.

with a royal family is difficult to get
rid of. All such fasten their fangs In
every conceivable way.
The Republican party Is the party Of
privilege, not the party Of just govern
ment and equality before the law. The
party does not favor even equal taxa
tiOn, but uses taxation to throw mil
lions into the pockets Of favored indus
tries. This party holds power In the
Uhited States Senate, and opposes re-
form. LabOring men should understand
the danger of division, so ss to enable
this dangerous Republican party to
again secure posses lion OF the general
government Divide and conquer is the
plan OF their shrewd but un r1nclpltd d
leaders. Beware of them.

THE SINGER COMPANY.
The Superiority of Their Machines Gener-
ally Acknowledged,

The superiority OF Their Machines GeneF-
ally Acknowledged,
The Singer Sewing Machine Company
with their office at 80 South Market
street, are doing a mammoth business
under the management of G. W. Cross,
and are at present doing larger bust
ness than ever before. With the last
two days two car loads of S5 machines
each we're received and the supply Is
not great enough to fill all the orders
now on hand.
The reason given for the great popu
lRrity of the singer machine Is its great
durability and the fact that no other
cOmpR y manufactures machines to
answer all purposes. As an instance of
the superiority Of these machines, any
one who will take the trouble, Can see Q +
the Wnitman.B Manufacturing Co.'S
shop two singer Machines used for the
purpose Of sewing heavy duck canvass
by steam power, at the rate of 1900
stitches minute fJr ten hours each day.
This Is not mere statement but can
be seen by anyone doubling the fact.
The superiority Of the fancy work
made on the Singer by the employees at
tie Office, proves that any woman can
easily learn to do the work as every
attachment ls simplifed so as to be
easily understood. ATrasene, tinsel,
chenille and silk work are all done with
the same attachment, ard anyone call
ing at the office will gladly be shown
how the machine Ia operated and the
kind Of work done,

aud the victim signs contract, and In
day or two along comes the second di-

About this time the farmer receives an
other and harder shock by being pre-
sented with bill largely In excess of
his expectations. No use kicking, for
